Summer is swinging into full gear and Medium Reality is your agent for fun! I hope that you are dusting off your shades and snatching some moments to recline in the grass. We have been going full bore at all of my studios to get ready for the busy summer fun season. I can guarantee that if you go to these sale events I am doing you will get a quick chance to snag the shirts that have been flying off the racks.... check out my newest laser graphics!

BUS Stop Trunk Sale - Wednesday June 25th - 6pm to 10pm

One of only two trunk sales series I am doing all summer long, this is sure to be a good one stuffed full of gems. I went to the first trunk sale at this new community/performance space and had to pick my jaw up off the ground at all the amazing designers there... I am returning with a little fear for how my wallet will fare. Come and see this amazing space and get your last pass at some brand new shirts right before gay pride!

More info on the June 14th Heavy Hearts party:

The Zine comes alive Saturday, June 14th at Space Gallery. The spotlight is on Heavy Hearts, a SF fashion team made up of Danielle DeRoberts of Onerary and Lara Grant of Reset (both also of the Pandora's Trunk collective). These ladies are known for their theatrical fashion shows and huge hearts. Danielle and Lara, along with several other local SF designers (also of Pandora's Trunk), will be showing their unique clothing lines as well as a few pieces made specifically for asiwouldsay! If you're down with independent fashion, you don't want to miss this. The runway show will go down twice during the course of the night, see below for details.

That's not all. The evening will also feature Ms.Natalie Gelman, a performer whose style is a synthesis of dance that draws from a diverse arena, ranging from the winding melodies of the middle east to the driving Afro Brazilian rhythms of Bahia. Talented musicians, Mark Machina, Derek Wright, Eric Hoffman, and Avshine will accompany her with strings and percussion.

As far as music is concerned, all the asiwouldsay family will be representing hard! The night starts with The Nothing, a talented producer and DJ, spinning a set of original music and featuring Darren "The Golden Horn" Reed on Trumpet. The zine mix will be put down as always by Moman and Chango Julius, this time around also featuring Maria Remos (aka The Songbird) and Dilcia Gonzalez. And last, but certainly not least, is the return of our resident roots & culture DJ, Stepwise, from his four month tour of South America!

Oh yea, AND it's an asiwouldsay art show featuring many amazing visual artists, AND there's free, good food!
